Chapter 331: Golden Globe Awards (5/10)
[Ask for a monthly pass!] 】
After the Super Bowl, Inception officially began its journey of large-scale promotion.
The next day, many people were still talking about the super reversal of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl yesterday, and the poster of "Inception" was like "suddenly like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms", and began to appear in various public places, streets and alleys, subway malls, and the intersection of Times Square in New York.
In the background is the top floor of the building surrounded by folding skyscrapers, eight people, scattered and standing, and at the forefront is Hu Yifei with a gun in one hand. It's just a POSS, and the coolness of the handsome man and the beautiful woman is fully displayed.
On the large LCD screen on the street, the wonderful trailer of "Inception" began to scroll continuously.
On the Internet, viral publicity has also been launched, and several major homepage websites and video websites have spent a lot of money to focus on publicity. Some other small websites are not spared, and among all kinds of annoying pop-up ads, all of them are "Inception".
Whether you look at it or not, it's there, starting to cover every corner of your life comprehensively. And officially announced to people: This summer, there is a big movie that you can't ignore.
At the same time, IMAX also began to cooperate with the publicity, and launched the concept of "Inception" IMAX high-definition big screen. They're throwing a lot of money around to make their presence felt. Loudly announcing how amazing the IMAX movie effect is, the fans are stunned.
The propaganda continues, and so does the time.
For Hollywood, spring is also known as awards season.
All the big and small films that were released last year will compete this month. As the biggest box office dark horse of last year, "The Hangover", which earned $280 million in North America and a global box office of more than $500 million, naturally gained a lot.
The biggest surprise was the British Film and Television Arts Awards, known as the "British Oscars", which was nominated for Best Original Screenplay, but the main focus is still in the United States.
Nominations for the 63rd Golden Globe Awards have been announced, with The Hangover being nominated for Best Original Screenplay and Best Musical/Comedy Film. It's a pity that on the more yearning Oscars, "The Hangover" failed to enter the eyes of the judges. In this year's Golden Globe Awards, among the best foreign language films, there are two Chinese films shortlisted at the same time, and both of them have Hu Yifei participated in the performance, namely "Ambush on All Sides" and "Kung Fu", Zhang Ziyi also won the Best Actress Award nomination in the drama category with "Memoirs of a Geisha".
But the most outstanding performance of the Chinese is not Hu Yifei, but Ang Lee.
His work is naturally "Brokeback Mountain", which won the Golden Lion Award in Venice before.
At the Golden Globe Awards, he also won seven nominations, including Best Director, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor. Not only that, but among the more important Oscar nominations, it is also extremely eye-catching, with eight nominations, which can be called the biggest winner in this year's Oscar nominations.
However, Hu Yifei is not bad, he is not only shortlisted for the movie "The Hangover", but also a TV series "Prison Break" was also shortlisted for the TV drama unit, and won two nominations for Best Drama Series and Best Actor in Drama.
The achievements of this TV series, in a sense, are higher than the shortlisted scores of the movie, and they are more difficult to get. It's just that "Prison Break" has also been challenged by the drama classic "Lost" this time, and it is unknown whether Americans will give such a Golden Globe Award to "The Hangover".
If all the Chinese filmmakers nominated above come to participate, I am afraid that Hollywood will rise a Chinese gang. But some beautiful things can only be thought about. The Australian gang can survive in Hollywood, but the Chinese gang can't.
So many Chinese have been shortlisted for the Golden Globe Awards, which is destined to make this Golden Globe Awards attract the attention of China's two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Overseas media naturally reported on the announcement of the nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, an entertainment event, with Hong Kong's Ming Pao Entertainment Edition reporting with a headline: "Hu Yifei has entered the competition for Best Picture in the Musical Comedy category!" ”
The introduction said: "Zhang Yimou's "Ambush on All Sides" and Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu" were also shortlisted for the Best Foreign Language Film Award, which is gratifying. ”
Many people have seriously analyzed the probability of several Chinese films winning the Golden Globe Awards, and in general, "The Hangover" has a better chance of winning the award. Among the several films shortlisted in the same period, only "Unstoppable" can be compared to it. However, the global box office of "Unstoppable" can exceed 100 million, and the IMDB score is only 7.7 points, which is much lower than the score of "The Hangover" breaking 8.
It's just a pity that "The Hangover" didn't win a single acting award. Maybe the leading actors are too focused on being funny and can't get into the eyes of the Foreign Correspondents' Association.
Domestic people are hot, in fact, American insiders know more or less what the Golden Globe Awards is all about. As long as you have money and are willing to do public relations, "Ambush on All Sides" may also win the best foreign language film.
On a sunny afternoon, Beverly Hills, outside the Hilton Hotel, where the 63rd Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held, was very lively, the red carpet was full of stars, and reporters from all over the world had already entered, filming the celebrities in the catwalk area; In the interview area, reporters and celebrities laughed and chatted, asking all kinds of questions.
A slowly driving sky blue Bentley sports car slowly stopped, the waiter in a suit and bow tie helped open the door, Hu Yifei and Scarlett stepped out of the car, and entered hand in hand with a smile on their faces. When the photojournalists behind the guardrails on both sides saw the two men, they immediately burst into cheers and screams, and the cameras in their hands kept bursting with flashes and clicks, and they shouted, "Galen! "Hu Yifei look here!" "Scarlett! ”……
Scarlett was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress for "The End of the Game", and they can compete at the Golden Globes together.
Every year, there is no shortage of superstars at the Golden Globe Awards, and this year is no different, with all three Chinese actresses from "Memoirs of a Geisha" appearing together, as well as the petite "Unstoppable" heroine Reese Witherspoon. and Anne Hathaway in a black and white evening gown, Eva Longoria in "Desperate Housewives", Naomi Watts, Peter Jackson, Woody Allen in "King Kong" heroines...... Wait.
There is also a large contingent of award presenters.
This year, more than 130 countries and regions will still broadcast the ceremony, and hundreds of millions of viewers are expected to tune in to watch the ceremony. Chinese media also came, and those who shouted Hu Yifei's Chinese name outside the venue were all from China.
However, Zhang Yimou and Zhou Xingchi did not come to the scene today, and the focus of the Chinese media and fans was all focused on Hu Yifei. Zhang Ziyi has not been hacked now, and she is still one of the brightest actresses.
Seeing her, Hu Yifei suddenly remembered that weird night, could it be her, or was there really a female ghost? (To be continued.) )
